(POSTPONED) ECREA Scandals in New Media Environments

The conference will focus on “Scandals in New Media Environments”. The overarching theme serves a two-fold goal: On the one hand, we want to intensify research on mediated scandals(cf. Entman 2012; Burkhardt 2018) and substantiate our understanding of such forms of scandals and their impact on societies. On the other hand, we hope to connect the study of scandals with a larger scientific community in the broad field of digital communication research, be it in organizational communication, journalism studies, political communication research or other fields.
